Bayley, Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton segment
• Bayley talks about her title opportunity at WWE Bad Blood and calls out WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax. Then, Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton show up and ask what she wants to say on her face.
Bayley says Nia never knows the significance of that title. Bayley says she grew up watching people hold that title like Molly Holly, like Victoria, like Beth Phoenix, Trish, Lita. All of those women made that title seem like they were larger than life, that they were more than human. And that ain’t you.
But as much as it pains me to admit, there’s one thing that they weren’t, they never had a dominant championship run like you have, right now, and I’ll admit that, Nia. You are on track to becoming one of the most dominant, if not the most dominant woman in all of WWE. But the facts are, there are two people in the WWE that can take that from you, right now.
One of them is me, tomorrow night, one-on-one at Bad Blood, and I plan on taking that championship straight off your shoulders. And the second one is your friend, Tiffany Stratton, over here. And trust me, it’s not because she’s good enough, it’s because of the briefcase she has in her hands. That thing, right there. Yeah, and the moment she gets tired of you talking down to her, the moment she gets tired of you berating her, she’s going to grab that title, and hit you in the back of the head, cash it in, and become the new WWE Women’s Champion. Wham, Bam, thank you, Mam.
